Hello, I am asking this on the behalf of a friend who lives in Casablanca in Morocco. She married a man from Utah while she was studying in Florida. The marriage took place in Florida. After the marriage was done, her study visa expired and she returned to Morocco and the marriage fell apart. She is wanting to return to the U.S. to continue her studies on a new visa, but she'd like to initiate the divorce while in Morocco.
I know this forum focuses on American law - and that is what I am asking about, I just want to know the American side of this.

Questions:
- Does her status as married affect her visa application? Will it hurt it? Can she just list her status as seperated?
- Is it possible for her to initiate a divorce from abroad? If so, how do we go about doing this?
- Is it better for her to wait and do it in the U.S. (if her marital status doesn't affect her visa)?
- Does abandonment come into play at all?
